But I think you'd agree that both Samba and Cups are kind of special, being file and print servers.

Say I have a nice installed-from-packages working system, with samba and cups, I run portupgrade, and it builds me a new samba, with a configuration that doesn't match the package I got off my CDROM, and *poof* my printing support vanishes without warning.
